Let’s start with a confession. I once baked and decorated a tiny gingerbread house. It took forever and the end product was less than stellar. So, I have a great appreciation for bakers who can create fabulous architectural models out of gingerbread.
The Museum of the City of New York hosts an annual “All Borough Gingerbread Competition.” I spent this morning at the museum admiring the artistry of the bakers. The overall impression and realistic details were stunning.
Given my own experience, I can only imagine how many hours were required to create even the simplest of these gingerbread models.
